The operation is as follows: .In orderto fasten the glove the lever G is slid'forward plate, having the rack I, and

D, of the wrist of glove.- attached to the other side,-

dated February 8, 1876; application filed until fold G strikes the pin F, and then raised into a vertical position, so as to be readily passed, as well as the studs B, eye of plate A. The lever is slid inahorizontal direction over pin F until the spur- H Will catch in a tooth of rack I. The gloveis now fastened, and may be readily u-nfastened by-a reverse operation.
